Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Which is kind of weird when you think about it since they're both predator animals. You'd imagine that evolutionarily they'd both be more inclined to each as much food as they can when it's available because they don't know when they'll catch another prey.
Though I read that because the small cats we have as pets hunt mainly much smaller prey compared to themselves and they feed multiple times throughout the day, whereas dogs are descended from wolves who can spend days at a time hunting much larger prey before getting a kill, a cat's stomach is also a lot smaller in relation to their size than dogs. So a cat could well actually be full after just a part of their daily portion, and physically don't have space to finish it unless they go off to digest for a while before coming back, while a dog is specifically adapted to gorge themselves as fast as possible and then potentially go without food for a long time.
